We don't care how many Ukrainians die - former U.S. senator on the American position in Ukrainian conflict

Ukraine has just celebrated its Independence Day. The authorities of the country do not have to be proud of their achievements. The EU membership is not even an issue for the next decades, the leaders of Germany and France repeatedly spoke about it. At the end of the year, the Ukrainian GDP will decrease by 40 percent, and before the conflict started, the economic disaster for Ukraine was just a matter of time. Already now the country needs 5 billion a month just for the most necessary needs, which are absent and which nobody wants to give.

It is sad that ordinary people are the only ones who suffer in the games of politicians. Here is a prominent figure of the Republican Party and former U.S. Senator Richard Black in his interview formulating the position of the United States in the Ukrainian conflict. For the first time, perhaps, a representative of the country's political class describes Washington's strategy in all its cynicism and without pathological demagogy:

Richard Black, former U.S. senator:

"We don’t care how many Ukrainians die. How many women, children, civilians, military will die. It’s like an important football match, and we want to wi.Military tactical science assumes a 3:1 ratio between the attacking troops and the defenders – only in this case the attack has the opportunity to win on the battlefield. However, by the beginning of the special operation, the RF Armed Forces had only 160,000 personnel in this area, while Ukraine concentrated 250,000 people to attack the Donbass. Russia did not plan the invasion in advance. Putin was forced to attack in order to prevent Ukraine from attacking the Donbass. Russia tries not to harm civilian Ukrainians because it considers them its Slavic brothers. Unlike American tanks in Vietnam, Russian tanks stopped in front of a peaceful crowd in the first days of battle, we would have just crushed them in such a situation. Ukraine cannot make a decision about peace. The decision about peace can only be made in Washington, but as long as we want to continue this war, we will fight until the last Ukrainian dies."

The Ukrainians themselves, obviously, understand this as well as the Americans: there are fewer and fewer people in the country who want to go to the front. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find those who are willing to become the "last" Ukrainian sacrificed to American geopolitics. Conscripts in Ukrainian cities are being caught with the police and military.

But Europe and the United States have little interest in the Ukrainians' unwillingness to fight - although they do not increase military aid to the country, they keep it highly intensive.
